Hi,
Can anyone identify these weeds. I am pulling them all up as one is ragwort, the others not sure but am not taking any chances.
Special thanks to Amy whittingham for helping get these photos on here.

All different types of the same species. RAGWORT

Pull them all up every single one.

They are poisonous and damage the liver over a period of time. its not a nice way to go.

Please get rid of them.
 
Most definitely gettting rid don't worry. I know what ragwort can do. None in horses paddocks as all sprayed earlier on. I back pack spay any lingering weeds, and hand pull stragglers that pop up around the yard. Horses can't get to any of these weeds. I just wanted to know what the other two were. ( If in doubt pull it out is my motto)
 
I think the middle is plain old ragwort, the left is oxford and on the right is marsh.

Well done you for keeping it all at bay.
 
The problem is, not every one does, and that is why it spreads. Farmers are the worst culprits usually.
 
When you pull them out make sure you get all the roots as otherwise they regenerate.

That's why it is better to spray kill them first and when completely dead pull them up wearing heavy duty industrial grade rubber gloves and burn them.
